Logitech G X52 Professional H.O.T.A.S Throttle and Stick Simulation Controller

The Logitech 945-000022 is a throttle and stick controller that brings the feel of real flight controls to your favorite simulation software. Built for enthusiasts who value precision, it pairs a spring-balanced joystick with a full-size throttle so every roll, pitch, and yaw feels deliberate and repeatable.

The joystick uses a centering mechanism that relies on two springs, creating smooth resistance and a consistent return to neutral. A twist axis lets you manage rudder input with your wrist, and a simple mechanical lock converts it into a fixed-handle stick if you prefer separate rudder pedals. The handle shape follows the natural curve of your hand, and an adjustable grip spacer helps pilots with different hand sizes find a comfortable reach.

The throttle slides along a long travel rail and includes a tension dial, so you can set light or firm resistance to match your flying style. Detents at key points mark afterburner and reverse-thrust positions, making power changes more intuitive when you transition between cruise, combat, and landing phases. An integrated LCD shows in-game data and profile details at a glance, while soft backlighting makes every button easy to spot in a dim cockpit.

With 19 programmable buttons, three HAT switches, and a small mouse stick on the throttle, you can assign critical commands without lifting a hand. Logitech’s optional software lets you create profiles for individual aircraft or missions and then switch between them on the fly. A single USB cable provides both power and data, so setup is quick whether you play on a desktop rig or a laptop.

The X52 Professional fits naturally in training scenarios, sightseeing flights, airliner routes, and fast-paced dogfights. New pilots can ease into the basics of straight-and-level flight, while veterans can practice complex start-up checklists or refueling maneuvers. The controller works with leading simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and DCS World, so you can fly everything from a Cessna to a modern jet fighter with one dependable setup.
